Viral Video of the Day: Dad drops daughter to catch foul ball at Dodgers game

YouTubeAt a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game, a dad dropped his own daughter to try and catch a foul ball.

What's more important, catching a foul ball or holding on to your kids?

One Los Angeles Dodgers fan decided it was more important to try and catch the ball, and dropped one of his daughters to do so at a recent Dodgers-Marlins game. As recently featured on Sports Illustrated and CBS, the dad lets go of his young girl and instead reaches for the baseball.

The worst part is, he didn't even catch the ball -- he dropped that too!

More than a million people have watched dad's embarrassing gaffe in less than three days, but he shouldn't feel too bad. Other fathers have done it too, like one gentleman who trampled over two kids to catch a foul ball last week at a Diamondbacks-Astros game.

It might not be outright child abuse, but it's questionable parenting that'll hurt him at holiday time. Father's Day is June 19. What do you think dad deserves for dropping his daughter?
